Joined: 16/04/2014(UTC) Views messages in topic : 752 Location: Bangalore, India		Hello all, For the first time, I took a break from scratch building and tried my hands on the following kits: faller 130708 set of 3 residential buildings faller 190063, set of 4 old town houses Vollmer 43811, a corner building Faller 130138, a corner building with tattoo studio Faller 190077, Römerberg-Ostzeile, set of 6 buildings (4 built and two in progress) Kibri 39452, 3 bay round house. I'm yet to start building this I took a break from my work and built all these buildings. I used synthetic glue and PVA for very few parts to stick the parts. It was a great learning experience and a fun filled one. When I compare my scratch built structures with these, in "most" of the cases, my approximation was very close to H0 scale. Just a side note on Kibri in the above list. Few years back, I read this lovely post on using a 3 bay round house without using a turntable. That is exactly what I'm going to try. Here is the link: roundhouse without turntable Here are few pics from my last 30 days of kitbashing

I have built two Vollmer Kits, but have not attached the signs as I am not sure what is best to use that will not bleed through and discolor the signs which come on somewhat glossy paper. Thanks, Tim

Hello Tim, I use a very thin layer of PVA (Elmer glue in the US?) to stick these signs (decorations). As PVA is water soluble, it is very easy to remove\replace the signs by applying a thin layer of water. Regards Madhu

It was reduced on clearance from a shop in the early 90s. Also a Pola ho corner 4 story with a pub, Also a Hexenloche mill, and a Pola frisiuer salon. I grouped the 3 on a city block and it forms a courtyard in the back. The salon adjoins the St. Martin's clock tower of Freiburg im Bursigau. So not individually kit bashed, but the scene is.
